I tried it in QEMU and the mouse didn't work right. It'd move to the edges of the screen and randomly click on things I didn't click on.

Forgot to tell you, but i got the same results on... hmm.. I think it was my laptop..

Sometimes the PS/2 mouse initialization is failing.
You can press Alt+3 and the initialization will be performed again
You will notice the mose returning to the center of the screen

It happens mainly in QEmu but on some hardware also (old PC's or new laptops with USB mouse emulation)

Usually ALT+3 solves it. I guess it is an old bug related to a short timeout ... but hard to fix since I can not reproduce it on my computers and I dislike waiting for mouse initialization too much

Thanks for reporting, if it's repeating in QEmu then this will be helpfull for testing.

As I have stated on site this release was "intermediate" ie it was not tested enough on multiple hardware and emulators So basically it is working but there are some glitches to be expected. I have tested it only in VPC

For example another bug is if you try to make a breshenhham circle of radius zero. This was found by Hutch. And there is another one in the HDD size reporting.

So I will be thankfull if you find such bugs and report them back to me.
I will tray to fix them in the next releases.

You can see in the the SolarOS forums that I have already made a new "bug fix release". Also addded some minor extra features and a listview control.

So, curently the last release is from 2006_06_21.
